Painterly pastiche in 'Un Dimanche a la campagne.' (film by Bertrand Tavernier)

Article Abstract:

Bertrand Tavernier's film 'Un Dimanche a la campagne' treats painting both as a theme and as a stylistic referent. This film reminds the viewer of Jacques Aumont's argument that the genre of film tries to seem a natural successor to painting but Tavernier's use of pastiche and homage to the artistic canons reinforce how far mechanically reproduced film is from painting.
